I couldn't get any of the OS images to load on any of the browsers I tested, but they loaded for other people I tested it with. I think I'm just unlucky.

Linux emulation isn't too polished.

Yeah, that's what this uses. But copy's x86 emulator on their site does not have any sort of networking, while anura seems to use some kind of http proxy to have the vm be fully networked.

You can even install packages and run graphical apps in anura. (Very, very, very slowly).

It has a proxy that allows networking. In the library itself there is now support for a total of 3 back ends
